Instructions
- Combine milk, unsalted butter, and sugar in a medium saucepan.

- Stir in the rest of the flour 2 cups at a time until a soft dough forms.
- Place dough into a large ungreased lidded container.
- Refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, melt salted butter over low heat and transfer to a small bowl.
- Spray baking pans with cooking spray.
- Roll dough out on a heavily floured surface.
- Cut out rounds using a 3-inch cutter.
- Dip rounds, one at a time, into melted butter, fold in half and place in prepared pan.
- Allow to rise in a warm place 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
- While rolls are rising, heat oven to 375℉/190℃.
- Bake rolls until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- While the dough is rising, go ahead and spray the baking pans. You don't wanna be dipping rolls in butter and trying to spray pans at the same time.
- This dough rolls out to be quite large so, make sure you have enough counter space to work with.
- Make sure to knock off excess flour from the rolls before dipping them into the butter.
- You might need to remelt the butter while you're working. That's okay. Just stick it in the microwave for a few seconds and get back to dipping!
- Altitude and/or weather may change how these bake and proving times. Keep an eye on the dough!
- You can make these rolls all in one day, but it can be very stressful. We highly recommend stretching this process out over two days.
- You can bake these rolls large casserole dishes, sheet pans, or disposable foil pans!
